- Put the fruit in a pan with 250ml water and bring to a simmer. You don't want to actually cook it through, just heat it enough to release its juices. Don't be tempted to add extra water as this will just dilute the flavour - the idea is to end up with a nice strong flavour to your jelly.
- Sieve the juice into a jug, pressing the fruit against the sieve to extract the maximum flavour, and pour it back into the pan, heat gently and add the sugar in tablespoons until the juice is sweet enough. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for five minutes then lift them out and stir them into the warm juice making sure they have fully dissolved. Divide the juice between 4 tumblers and chill until set. If you want to add whole fruit then add half the juice to the tumblers and set it before adding the rest of the fruit and jelly mix (remember not to let the remaining jelly set before you are ready to add it.). Top the set jellies with a curl of ice cream, scoop of cream or layer of custard.
